In The Moral World There Is Nothing

I Lay Very Little Stress Either Upon Asking Or Giving Advice. Generally Speaking, They Who Ask Advice Know What They Wish To Do, And Remain Firm To Their Intentions. A Man May Allow Himself To Be Enlightened On Various Points, Even Upon Matters Of Expediency And Duty; But, After All, He Must Determine His Course Of Action, For Himself.

Absolutely Nothing Is So Important For A Nation's Culture As Its Language.

Reason Cannot Desire For Man Any Condition Other Than That In Which Not Only Every Individual Enjoys The Most Absolute, Unbounded Freedom To Develop Himself Out Of Himself, In True Individuality, But In Which Physical Nature, As Well, Need Receive No Other Shaping By Human Hands Than That Which Is Given To Her Voluntarily By Each Individual, According To The Measure Of His Wants And His Inclinations, Restricted Only By The Limits Of His Energy And His Rights.

Man Is Naturally More Disposed To Beneficent Than Selfish Actions. This We Learn Even From The History Of Savages.

The State Should Avoid All Solicitude For The Positive Welfare Of Its Citizens, And Not Proceed A Step Further Than Is Necessary For Their Mutual Security And Their Protection Against Foreign Enemies. It Should Impose Restrictions On Freedom For No Other Purpose.
